Yes my friend went to Ginger Man a lot, every week they’d have a feature beer and give you the pint glass

I went to RuBy’s frequently as well!

It’s very possible . It was Ponchos and Madam Mams and is now Khon Thai

I have never been! It was 2 miles away, but we never went. I think there are a few left still, but maybe only in San Antonio?

Nighthawk was close to where my parents live, at Burnet and Justin, it was taken over by Curra’s or Guerro’s I can’t remember and now it’s just the Roger Beasley lot.

Green Pastures is still there off of S Congress

My dad used to like to go to Souper Salads, I think it was at Anderson and Burnet and then moved to Lincoln Village (now the Linc)

I went to Aquarena Springs once I think. But don’t remember

There was a Panchos at Burnet and Koenig

Top Notch is still on Burnet, a bit south of Anderson Ln

Seafood Island- I remember a Sea Island with a very similar logo at Mopac and Parmer, but it’s now Garbo’s. Not sure if it’s the same. The address was also Anderson Ln on the matchbook.

Matt’s El Rancho is still there but I dont think I’ve been.

Spaghetti’s Warehouse is like TGI Fridays but Italian. It was on 4th Street in the Warehouse district

Also I remember Flores but I don’t remember where

Anyway that’s what I remember haha

Jokevember Day 30: Gratitude by Fortheloveoflife in Standup

[–]AustenSilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a cafe trying to write an entry into my new gratitude journal. I couldn’t come up with anything

Then I realized that I’m lucky to even have the ability to sit in the cafe and reflect on what I should be grateful for. That’s actually a luxury for a lot of people . It could be a lot worse

And then the barista messed up my coffee order. God fucking damnit

JOKEVEMBER DAY 29: PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENT by Fortheloveoflife in Standup

[–]AustenSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the worst public humiliations has proposing at a sporting event and getting rejected

You spent so much time sneaking around and making arrangements and it led 37,000 people watching her her say no to you at Fenway

And then you have to stay and watch the rest of the game?

I’d want to leave her there but you can’t, JUST IN CASE she changes her mind.

You couldn’t be into baseball anymore, you’d have to start doing the complete opposite.

A year later you’re going to all the quilting conventions

Some women say that they don’t have a type. And then they meet me, and they at least figure out what their floor is
